II Tho Element we Drink Decimatine tho
Peoplof-ffow Universal Menace 90
Health Mar ne Disarmed.
A few years ngo tho people In a certain
section In one OF the leading cities Of tho
State were prostrated with a malignant
disease, and upon investigation IL was
found that only those who used water from
famous old we'll were the victims.
Prof s. A. baltimore, analyst OF the
New York State Board OF Health, upon
analyzing water from this well found IL
more deadly than the city sewaeei
The filling up OF the old well stopped the
ravages Of the disease.
Not long since the writer noticed while
some men were making an excavation for
q large building, a stratum Of dark colorcd
earth running from near tho surface TO
hard pan. Thoro II took another course
toward we'll near at hand. Tho water
from this we'll had for years been tainted
with the DRAWINGS from a receiving vault
tho percolations Of which had discolored
the earth.
Terriblei
A similar condition OF things exists in
every village and city where we'll water IL
used, and though the Altering which tho
fluids receive in passing through tho earth
may give them clpar appearance, yet the
poison and disease remains, though tho
water may look never sc clear.
II Is still worse with thc farmer, for tho
drainage from tho barn yard and tho slops
from tho kitchen eventually find their way
into the family welli
The samo condition OF things exists In
our large cities, whose water supplies arc
rivers fed by little streams that carry OF
the filth and drainage from houses This
t'water" IL eventually drunk by rich and
poor alike with great evil.
Some cautious people resort 70 tho filter
for purifying this water, but even the
filter does not remove this poison, for
water OF tho most deadly character may
pass through this filter and become clear,
yet the poison disguised is there.
They who use filters know that they
must DO renewed at regular periods, for
even though they do not take out all the
impurity, they soon become foul
Now In like manner tho human kidneys
act as filter for the blood, and II they are
filed up with impurities and become foul,
like tho filter, all the blood in the system
coursing through them becomes bad, for IL
is now conceded fact that tho kidneys
are tho chief means whereby tho blood is
purified. These organs are filled with
thousands OF hdir-iits tubes which drain the
impurities from tho blood, as tho sewer
pipes drain impurities from our houses.
II q sewer pipe breaks under the house,
the sewage escapes into the earth and fills
the house with poisonous gas; so II any OF
the thousand and one little hair like sewer
tubes Of tho kidneys break down, tho en-
tire body is affected by this awful poison.
1t is a scientific fact that tho kidneys
have few nerves Of sensation; and, conse-
quently, disease may exist in these organs
o.. a
the individual. 1t Is impossible 10 filter or
take tho death out OF the blood when tho
least arrangement exists in these organs,
and II tho blood is not filtered then the
uric acid, or kidney poison, removable only
by Warmers safe cure, accumulates in tho
system and attacks any organ, producing
nine out OF ten ailments, Just as sewer gas
and bad drainage produce so many. fatal dis
orders
Kidney disease may be known to exist II
there Is any marked departure from or
dinary health without apparent known
cause, and IL should be understood by ali
that the greatest peril exists. and is inten-
sihed, Il there Is the least neglect to treat
1t promptly with that great specific War
ner's safe cure, q remedy that has re.
ccived the highest recognition by scien-
tifc men who have thoroughly investl.

They may not tell US that the cause OF so
many diseases in this organ is tho impure
water or any other one thing, but this poi
sonous water with its impurities coursing
constantly through these delicate organs
undoubtedly does produce much OF tho do
cay and disease which eventually termi-
nate in the fatal Bright's disease, for this
disease, alike among tho drinking men.
prohibitionlsts, tho tobacco slave, tho la
borer, the merchant and tho tramp, works
terrible devastation every year.
II Is well known that the liver, which Is
so easily thrown 'out of gear, " as they say,
very readily disturbs the action OF the kid
neys. That organ when deranged imms
dlately announces tho fact by sallow skin,
constipated bowels, coated tongue and
headaches, but tho kidney when diseased,
struggles on for long time, and tho fact
OF It's disease can only DO discovered by the
aid OF the miscroscope or by the physician
who Is sltillful enough TO trace tho most in
direct effects In the system to the derange-
ment OF these organs, as the prime cause.
Tho public is learning much on this sub
ject and when 1t comes TO understand that
the kidneys arc tho real health regulators,
as they arc the real blood purifiers OF tho
system, they will escape an infinite amount
Of unnecessary suffering, and add length
Of days and happiness to their lot
